Jermaine O'Neal said he's not ready to return to the NBA at the moment.

O'Neal had been training in the Dallas suburbs for a possible comeback attempt with the Mavericks, but informed the team on Monday that he wasn't able to get physically prepared for NBA game action. While the Mavs are going to keep communication open with the 36-year-old, O'Neal posted his thoughts on Instagram. "I don't feel like I'm at that position now with just seven weeks of training, and I'm not comfortable making that commitment at this point Feb 17 - 9:51 AM

The Mavs will not be signing Jermaine O'Neal at this time, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com.

The Mavs are very likely going to sign Amare Stoudemire, but there are some reports of the team brining on both veterans. O'Neal was a vocal leader for the Warriors in 2013-14, but he won't be playing much more than double-digit minutes this season. Feb 16 - 4:49 PM

O'Neal has been linked to Dallas throughout the season, and it appears things are on the verge of becoming official. However, he'll have a minimal role with the Mavs, and owners in standard leagues can feel free to leave the 18-year-veteran no the waiver wire. Jan 27 - 5:43 PM

Dallas hopes to sign O'Neal by the All-Star break, according to ESPN.com, and the team is "inching closer to [an] eventual signing." J.O. has suddenly become a coveted asset, as he's also drawn interest from the Cavaliers, Warriors, Blazers and Clippers. His ailing knees won't allow him to play heavy minutes and his eventual whereabouts aren't likely to cause more than a ripple in fantasy leagues. Jan 26 - 12:21 AM
